I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell what I felt,
I was unrecognizable to myself,
I saw my reflection in a window,
I didn't know my own face, oh brother
are you gonna leave me wastin' away
on the streets of Philadelphia?
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone,
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone,
at night I could hear the blood in my veins,
just as black and whispering as the rain
on the streets of Philadelphia.
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
it's just you and I my friend
and my clothes don't fit me no more,
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake,
I can feel myself fading away,
so receive me brother with your faithless kiss,
or will we leave each other alone like this
on the streets of Philadelphia?
Lalalalala lalalalala lalala..
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
it's just you and I my friend
and my clothes don't fit me no more,
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.
